dionne has an interesting point in the "washington post" today, saying that what's maddening for democrats is whenever they point out the racially charged nature of romney's assault, republicans piously cast themselves as victims, accusing democrats of playing the race card. defanging the welfare issue is obama's highest immediate priority. this task is complicated because voters tend to view obama as more liberal than he actually is which means many of them are prepared to believe there may be some truth in romney's false claims. what do you make of that? >> first of all, jonathan just went soft there. jonathan, there is nothing tenable about saying that president obama or secretary sebelius weakened the work requirement. in fact, they strengthened it by demanding a 20% increase. let's be absolutely crystal clear about that. there should be no misunderstanding. that's a bald-faced lie, number one. number two, the best person to debunk all this is bill clinton, the father of welfare reform. bill clinton should look in the camera wednesday night and i bet that he will, and say folks, that's

one of the most maddening things about covering economics is that everyone tries to redefine what basic economic theory means. this is a particular point that will come up a lot. a lot of people think we have reached the breaking point when it comes to u.s. government debt. if you look at to figures i put up here, they are both figures of u.s. debt. one is 15 trillion dollars, and that would be 100% of gdp. it should mean that over time, the u.s. economy will be slower because of higher debt. we obviously cannot have that slower growth in our interest rates are as low as they are now. this is the figure you will find in the cbo report. there is a somewhat interesting debate among economists on which figure is you should use in interpreting the reinhard-row goff study. >> to adjust quickly respond. he did sticky through a huge debate, and one of great consequence. very confusing, i think, because of on the one hand, other hand issues that he does raise. i will give you my view, which i would argue is the correct one. let's just keep it simple. first of all, the do you believe -- who do y
